I thank the gods for the Internet. Without it, I would probably still be eating loaves of whole grain bread and pasta. Hi Imsovain-- Every post? I'm honored. Yeah, the Internet provides a cornucopia of information; the problem is separating the wheat from the chaff or in this case the wheat from the meat.
